A Save Situation Lyrics

It feels like you've been asleep for days
Television's on, can't stay awake
I fall down again.
And when your friends leave, oh they get gone
Such a pet peeve when you prove me wrong
I fall down, we all fall down
I need to get back to Tempe
It's been two years since I've been here before
Back down to these streets that lead me
The ones that keep me away from Glendale
Oh oh, open your eyes and let me in
I swore to God I'd never swear
And we all fall down
And we all fall down
Again.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The progression here in this song is probably the best part to me, as well as Nate's vocal range. Just randomly, I have to say the best part of the song for me is; "I swore to God I'd never swear".

This song to me is about how everybody makes mistakes. This is made pretty clear by the "But I'll fall down again, Yeah we all fall down." This is saying how he will always make mistakes as we all will. The verses seem to show an example of each of these. and by the way...The correct lyric for the first part is "It feels like you've been asleep for days, The televisions on, I CAN'T stay awake".
